⛈ IT’S SOGGY OUT THERE!! Storm team out last night clearing a hemlock blockage on Powerline Trail. Horse, bike, and hike access now restored. Super thanks to Brendon at @whitedotadventures for the 5 mile hike to bust it out just in time for Memorial Day weekend! Natures rewards of Flame Azaelas and Mountain Laurel along Panthertown Valley ease the hike out 😎 🥾 🪵 🌲
Now that’s a job well done! This weekend, our team of dedicated volunteers spent two days fixing the shelter on the Great Wall trail. We repaired the sunken floorboards and patched up all the holes in the roofing, creating a safe camp environment! Check out our website for upcoming workdays, link in bio!
Another great workday for the books 📚 with an amazing #StewCrew! We worked on the Mac’s Gap and Greenland Creek trails, making sure our trails are sustainable! 🌱 Swipe to check out a rebuild on a section of the Panthertown Valley trail! 🪵🌸🌞🌎🐸🥾

Friends of Panthertown hosted the Watershed Association of the Tuckasegee River for a macroinvertebrate day! We learned the importance of macroinvertebrates, how to survey for them in streams, and more!
“Big changes are coming to the forests of western North Carolina this year. Real estate in the Panthertown Valley area of Nantahala National Forest is about to become a hot digital commodity.
